here is the story about how I got banned from uhaul:

I like how similar our stories are. It's really a wonder that uhaul is as popular as it is. I don't know if it's just lack of competition, but I've never really heard anyone say they had a great uhaul experience. There's always some sort of inconvenience and/or incompetence somewhere in the transaction.

I think they have the benefit of being close (but not entirely) to a generic trademark (e.g. "xerox this paper"). I didn't even consider other moving truck companies until I had to. I also get the impression they are a very right-leaning owned company, which has a tiny but noticeable effect when things Go Wrong.

Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!

Unless they don't have the 10' truck I'm renting in stock (and the only available pickup time for tomorrow was 7:45 AM so I don't know how they'd run out by then + they confirmed the order accurately via email) I don't think there's anything they can screw up. I also went for the full accidental damage insurance if I flip it or something.

I just want this to be done, and I know once I do get moved in I still have to set up comcast service since the building supports nothing else :coolspot:

I'm looking forward to getting Withnail and I levels of drunk next weekend, at least

At 7am I was woken up by my phone ringing. A woman starts talking very fast in Korean. I'm groggy and very confused so I just say what a bunch of times then hang up.

She calls back and this time I notice phone saying the phone number is from South Korea. Still having no idea what to say, I just say no repeatedly. I briefly considered trying to open Google's translate app so I could tell her she very much has the wrong number, but had no way to communicate that to her. She eventually hung up.

I went back to sleep. When I woke up I checked my phone to make sure it wasn't a dream and yep, it's right there in the call log.

Our phone numbers aren't even formatted the same way or have the same amount t of numbers, so I'm assuming she was trying to call someone she knew in North America but dialed it wrong twice.

they informed her I was banned for life until I apologized for my "obscene language" to UHaul the commercial entity. Not the representative, but to UHaul itself.

Ecco is like U-Haul in that he'll ban people for life until they apologize.

Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!

My entire move was like $90 through Uhaul, plus drinks or dinner or something for a friend who helped me out for the first hour. He had to go teach music lessons after that though, so it's kinda cool knowing everything I own I've moved around today (except for some cleaning supplies I left at the old apartment to give it a once-over later tonight or after work tomorrow).

Hi mafia thread! I've missed you! I stopped reading for a long time because I traveled the nation over the summer and then when I got back home I went right back to work. This year's crop of eighth graders has been trying, but I think I'm finally starting to form a rapport with them - it just usually comes faster. What have I missed in 6000+ posts? Who lived? Who died? Who came back and who poo poo off forever? I hope you didn't miss me. I am easy to follow on Facebook or via my Youtube podcast or I guess in person if you were especially stealthy and bored.

I have a new-ish game idea I want to run when I die in the game Met is running.

Also thank you for birthday wishes on pg 106. <3
